If you experience shortness of breath (feeling of lack of air), you should consult a doctor; this may be a sign of a life-threatening aneurysm, heart or lung disease. Otolaryngologist, candidate of medical sciences Alexander Puryasev talked about this in the program “Doctor 24”.
“In aneurysm, the vessel wall becomes thin and swollen. This situation is life-threatening, because the vessel can burst at any time, causing bleeding in the brain, which can lead to death,” Puryasev warned.
The doctor added that the aneurysm can be detected using a brain MRI.
Shortness of breath may be caused by lung diseases such as bronchial asthma or pneumonia. Shortness of breath after minor physical activity may be indicative of arterial hypertension.
Any shortness of breath requires seeing a doctor, but if it does not occur after physical activity or excitement and occurs at rest, when the person is sitting or lying down, hospitalization may be necessary.
